Instructions for Large Steampunk Snowflake Ornament

This is a set of instructions for building steampunk snowflake ornaments. This tutorial is similar to the other snowflake tutorial I wrote, but it uses square wire rings and has some structural differences. It’s also much tighter, so I’ve classified this one as intermediate simply because of how many small rings that need to go into tight spaces. This tutorial assumes that you can weave full persian. If you don’t know this weave, there are free resources which can help you learn it. Chainmail 101 has a free tutorial, and Chainmailbasket.com also has plenty of resources. This tutorial has been tested with anodized aluminum rings from The Ring Lord and Metal Designz. NOTE: different sized rings have not been tested with these instructions. If you change the sizes, it might not work out as well. I have not noticed a large difference in manufacturers, and I’ve also used Chainmail Joe rings to secure the gears in place. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a messag
